YACHT DESTINATIONS
Greek Islands
Set sail through the enchanting Greek Islands, where turquoise waters, ancient ruins, and charming villages create an unforgettable yachting destination. Explore the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Ionian Islands.
The Best Greek Islands Yachting Destinations
With their clear emerald-turquoise waters and pretty villages of whitewash and windmills, the Greek islands are one of the greatest yachting cruising grounds on Earth. Featuring crumbling temples, stunning beaches, and a rich history of myth and legend under endless blue skies, a Greek islands yacht charter is paradise found.
Yet it’s not quite as simple as chartering a superyacht in Athens and floating off into the Aegean Sea. There are over 2,000 Greek islands scattered across the sea in 5 major (and many minor) archipelagos – each with its own unique history and charm.
The majority of Greek island’s superyacht charter vacations focus on the glamorous Cyclades and the Ionian Island chains. But you’ll also find some splendid cruising onboard a Dodecanese yacht charter or in the Aegean and Northern Sporades.
Charter a luxury yacht in Greece today and our knowledgeable team will create a custom itinerary that includes everything you want to see, do, and experience.
Cyclades Islands
Superyacht fleets flock to the Cyclades each summer, anchoring in the shadow of magnificent Santorini or docking near the famous windmills of Mykonos.
A Cyclades yacht charter is sipping a cocktail at sunset by a cliff-top infinity pool high above the Aegean, or shopping in designer boutiques along the whitewash and bougainvillea lanes of Mykonos. The Cyclades have a thriving nightlife and a great superyacht scene, making this archipelago the epicenter of summer action in Greece for yacht charters.
Dodecanese Islands
If your dream is to escape into a pristine, wild Greece with less of the bustle and tourists of the other chains, then the Dodecanese islands are for you.
Savor the history of the island of Rhodes, or just float through the quiet islands, hiking up forested mountains, sunbathing on quiet beaches, and eating in local tavernas by the sparkling sea.
Ionian Islands
The Ionian chain is an irresistible yachting destination, boasting some of the most spectacular beaches in the world, epic watersports, and incredible Byzantine palaces. Everyone must visit the unforgettable Shipwreck Beach on Zakynthos, relax or kitesurf beneath the towering cliffs of Lefkada, and drift through the ethereal blue caves of Kefalonia.
The cultural landscape in the Ionian Islands is as rich as the geography. The stunning architecture of Corfu tells the tale of ancient hordes, while the island of Ithaca forms the backdrop to some of Homer’s greatest legends.
Saronic Islands
With over 6,000 islands spread throughout the Ionian and Aegean seas, the most popular array of islands is divided into 5 groups: Cyclades, Ionian, Sporades, Dodecanese and Saronic. Saronic Islands Yacht Charter is one of the most beautiful charters available in Greece.
Aegean Islands
Similar to the Dodecanese but with more lush greenery, the Aegean islands are the ideal place to float away from all the cares in the world.
Quiet and steeped in Greek history, these islands are covered in mountains and deep pine forests, interspersed with tranquil villages and sunlit coves.
Hike the wonderful paths of Somothraki or Samos, or visit Lesvos, considered the ancient birthplace of art and philosophy.
